Stay With Your Squad Bug Fix

Stay With Your Squad Bug

In the Kill or Capture mission, players have been reporting a bug encounter during the very first objective of the game. Ghost will remain stationary after providing instructions to the squad, preventing the mission from advancing.

Load From Last Checkpoint

The easiest and fastest way to fix this bug is to load from your last checkpoint. If it doesn't fix the problem, you might be at the wrong place so try to follow the objective by going through the marker.

Restart the Game

If loading from your last checkpoint didn't do the trick, try restarting the game to fix it. Make sure everything is saved first before closing and running the game again to avoid losing progress!

Verify Integrity of Game Files

There also might be some corrupted files that the game can't read. You can try verifying integrity of the game files to see check, repair, and redownload any corrupted files.

Ghost Stuck in Helicopter Bug Fix

Ghost Stuck in Helicopter Bug

After clearing the second house, Soap will be tasked to secure the crash site with Ghost to help out squadmates injured near the helicopter. After withstanding three waves of attacks, a bug might occur wherein Ghost does not leave the crash site. This will prevent the mission from progressing.

Stay Close to Ghost

Some player reports suggest that staying close to Ghost during this portion of the mission will prevent any bugs from occuring. This strategy may also be effective for any bug that involves Ghost maintaining a stationary position.

Load From Last Checkpoint

One way of dealing with this bug is by restarting to the last checkpoint. Fortunately, the last checkpoint will start at the last wave of attacks when air support deals with the enemy vehicles. If the bug still occurs, it is recommended to restart the entire mission or re-launch the game.

How to Beat Kill or Capture in Realism Difficulty

Realism Difficulty Tips
Mount Your Gun for Easier Kills Use the VEL 46 for Close-Range Gunfights Eliminate Enemies Flanking the Crash Site First Use Night Vision and Teammate to Secure Third House

Mount Your Gun for Easier Kills

When clearing the buildings, enemies will be hiding in tight corners or near doors. It is helpful to mount Soap's weapon in these spaces as engaging enemies head on will have Soap absorb considerble damage.

Mounting can be done close to objects such as boxes, doors, ledges, and windows. Peeking over objects provides the player with a favorable angle when engaging gun fights, limiting the vantage point of enemies.

Use the VEL 46 for Close-Range Gunfights

The VEL 46 submachine gun is your starting loadout's secondary for this mission. It is better suited for interior spaces and it deploys a laser sight when in night vision mode. Make use of this gun when clearing out buildings in the mission.

Eliminate Enemies Flanking the Crash Site First

During this portion of the mission, the player will have to withstand three waves of attack. You do not need to worry about enemies pushing the crashed helo. Instead, focus on killing any enemy that flanks the open doorway and leave the brunt of the fighting to your AI squadmates.

When enemy vehicles start rolling in, simply await for air support as it will be difficult to engage in gunfights during this portion.

Use Night Vision and Teammate to Secure Third House

In the third house, clear the first floor, then use night vision goggles on the second floor. Given the dark lighting in this floor, activating the night vision goggles will allow Soap to spot enemies quicker.

The last enemy is in the 'outside' portion of the house in a room to the right. He'll trigger once you step over the doorway, so walk backward quickly or go prone and let your teammates clear him out (otherwise Soap will die instantly).
